Lift ChairsWhat is a Lift Chair?
Well, this type of seating doesn’t just recline—it also features a powered lifting mechanism that pushes the chair up from its base to assist the user to a standing position.
It should be noted that the utility of a lift chair goes beyond comfort. Since the powered lifting mechanism enables the user to keep a natural seated posture, a lift chair can provide relief to people with back pain and seniors who could benefit from a gentle boost to stand up.
